FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is related to the field of daily necessities, andmore particularly, to a storage device for a hair dryer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hair dryers are household electric appliances commonly used in dailylife.

They are often used to dry hairs. A hair dryer usually has a relativelylonger power supply cord. A hair dryer would be easily damaged if itwere carelessly placed. Accordingly, after being used, a hair dryer isrequired to be stored with care. However, since the used hair dryerwould continue to dissipate heat for a period of time, it would beinappropriate to store it immediately into a drawer or a cabinet.Moreover, its relatively longer power supply cord also makes its storagemore inconvenient.

There are some conventional storage frames available for hair dryers.They are usually installed in a bathroom or on a table. Accordingly, ahair dryer could be stored only at a fixing location. In other words,the storage frames are unable to be moved to other places in accordancewith the actual need, and are not suitable for many applications.Besides, the conventional storage frames for hair dryers are onlycapable of being used to store the hair dryers. When hair dryers arestored into these storage frames, they are unable to be used directlysince users have to take them out and hold them by their hands.Therefore, when the hands of a user are used to aid the hair drying, itwould be inconvenient for the user to take out and hold a hair dryer byhands.

In view of above technical problems, there is a need to provide a novelstorage device for a hair dryer to solve such technical problems.

FIG. 2 shows the storage device for a hair dryer according to thepresent invention, where it is not provided with a storage box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following detailed description will best be understood inconjunction with the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, according to the present invention, thestorage device for a hair dryer comprises a supporting part 1, ahair-dryer receiving part 2, and a wire storage part 3. The supportingpart 1 is provided with a base 11 and a support bar 12. The base 11 isintegrally formed from the supporting part 1. The support bar 12 isconnected with the base 11. The supporting part 1 has one end, which isaway from the base 11 and at which the hair-dryer receiving part 2 isprovided. The hair-dryer receiving part 2 is provided with a curvedreceiving slot and the curved receiving slot is given in accordance withthe hair dryer's shape and size. The present invention is structurallysimple, wisely designed, and convenient for use. The supporting part 1is provided to support the hair-dryer receiving part 2 and the wirestorage part 3. It could be placed in anywhere the storage for the hairdryer is required, and is very convenient to be carried and used.Moreover, in one embodiment of the present invention, the hair-dryerreceiving part 2 is provided at the top end of the support bar 12.Accordingly, when the hair dryer is placed thereon, its air outlet islocated at the top end. The horizontal orientation of the air outlet canbe arranged in such a way to blow air out in a direction towards auser's hair. Such arrangement is distinguished from the conventionalone. Conventionally, the hair dryer is with its air outlet to bedownwards placed into a receiving slot, and thus the hair dryer that hasbeen placed into the receiving slot is unable to be used directlywithout taking it out therefrom. However, according to the presentinvention, after the orientation of the air outlet is suitably arranged,the hair dryer can be used directly and conveniently without the need oftaking it out first from the storage device by hands.

In some embodiments, the support bar 12 includes a fixing bar 121 and atelescopic bar 122. The fixing bar 121 is integrally formed with thebase 11. The telescopic bar 122 and the fixing bar 121 aretelescopically connected with each other. Specifically, in oneembodiment of the present invention, the telescopic position can befixed by using a bolt. It can be fixed by using rotary means or bucklesas well. In the embodiment, such arrangement is more suitable for a hairdryer with a relatively longer hand-held part. For a hair dryer having arelatively longer hand-held part, the supporting part could becorrespondingly adjusted to be higher in order to meet the actual need.Such adjustment also can be made according to the statures of differentusers. In other words, for the statures of different users or for thestatus, such as standing or sitting of the same user, the position ofthe telescopic bar 122 relative to the fixing bar 121 can becorrespondingly adjusted.

In some embodiments, the storage device for a hair dryer furthercomprises a position-limiting block 4. The position-limiting block 4 isconnected with the support bar and is provided between the hair-dryerreceiving part 2 and the wire storage part 3. According to thisembodiment, the position-limiting block 4 and the hair-dryer receivingpart 2 together form a triangular positioning for the hair dryer. Sucharrangement has advantages including stable fixation, secure attachment,convenient use, and effective storage.

In some embodiments, the position-limiting block 4 s provided with asemicircular arcuate position-limiting groove 41. The semicirculararcuate position-limiting groove 41 is provided in accordance with thesize of a part of the hair dryer where the part is connected with thehair dryer's wire. Such arrangement is suitable for the positioning ofthe part connected with the wire of the hair dryer so as to achieveeffective fixation.

In other embodiments, the wire storage part 3 is provided with a hook 32and a storage box 31. The hook 32 is connected with the support bar 12.The storage box 31 and the hook 32 are detachably connected with eachother. Moreover, a bent part 311 is provided at a connection between thestorage box 31 and the hook 32. The bent part 311 is provided inaccordance with the size of the hook 32. In such arrangement, byconnecting the bent part 311 of the storage box 31 with the hook 32, thestorage box 31 could be detachably connected with the hook 32. It isconvenient for use. When it is required to clean the storage box 31, thestorage box 31 can be detached from the hook 32 directly.

In some embodiments, the base 11 is designed to be in a circular ringshape, in an elliptic ring shape, or in a polygonal shape. Sucharrangement, on the one hand, makes it able for the base 11 in goodcontact with a contact surface to provide support. On the other hand,the support bar 12 also can be provided around the notch of the base 11,so as to provide better firmness and convenience and aesthetic design.Different shapes can be selected to meet the actual need.

In other embodiments, the hair-dryer receiving part 2 is provided with aposition-limiting ball 21. Such arrangement is aimed at improving thepositioning of the hair dryer. The position-limiting ball 21 is providedto facilitate the position limiting and to avoid any damage done to thehair dryer.
